DESCRIPTORS Accountability; *Child Labor; *Codes of Ethics; *Fashion Industry; Imports; International Crimes; *International Trade IDENTIFIERS Monitoring ABSTRACT Corporate codes of conduct prohibiting the use of child labor are becoming more common as consumers areincreasingly calling upon companies to take responsibility for theconditions under which the goods they sell are manufactured.This report (the third volume in the Bureau of International Labor Affairs' international child labor series) details an investigation of the use of child labor in the production of apparel for the U.S. marketand the extent to which U.S. apparel importers have establishedand are using guidelines prohibiting the use of child labor. Resultsof a voluntary survey of 48 companies revealed that: (1)a majority have such a policy, although they have different forms andstandards; (2) that the transparency, or education and awareness, of thecodes among foreign contractors was not emphasized;(3) that most of the codes make no provision for implementation or monitoring; and(4) that most companies claimed they would enforce their codes, although they report having rare occasion to do so. Site visits by Departmentof Labor officials to six foreign countries confirmed the bulkof these results. Overall, codes of conduct, properly monitored andenforced, appeared to be a positive factor in solving the globalchild labor problem. Six appendices comprising over half of the reportcontain: (1) a list of companies surveyed;(2) the questionnaire; (3) the surveyed companies' codes of conduct;(4) site visit locations and contacts;(5) U.S. apparel imports, by region and country, 1985-1995; and (6) the International Labor Organization C138Minimun Age Convention, 1973. *********************************************************************** Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document. *********************************************************************** U S DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION P' Office of Ec-cational Research and Improvement EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER (ERIC) X:htscocument has been reproduced as eceivea trom tne person or organization originating it Minor changes have been made to improve reproduction quality Points of view or opinions statea in this document do not necessarily represent official OERI position or policy A 111 I I ' i I II I II 1, ID -8. mo ri ' ;. .00 A . 2 BEST COPY AVAILABLE OREL IIHEM COM 05' COBliO: A Solution to the International Child Labor Problem?

Congressional Mandate This report is the third volume in ILAB's international child labor series.... It focuses on the use of child labor in the production of apparel forthe U.S. market, and reviews the extent to which U.S. apparel importers haveestablished and are implementing codes of conduct or other business guidelines prohibitingthe use of child labor in the production of the clothing they sell. The report wasmandated by the Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and Appropriations Act of1996, P.L. 104-134. B. Overview A recent development, corporate codes of conduct and otherbusiness guide- lines prohibiting the use of child labor are becoming more common, as consumers as well as religious, labor and human rights groups are increasinglycalling upon com- panies to take responsibility for the conditions under whichthe goods they sell are being manufactured. Many U.S. companies that import apparel haveadopted codes of conduct that prohibit the use of child labor and promote other laborstandards. For purposes of this report, the term "codes of conduct" isused generically to refer to various types of corporate policies and standards onchild labor and other work- ing conditions.

  • Trademark Law and the Prickly Ambivalence of Post-Parodies
    8 Colman Final.docx (DO NOT DELETE) 8/28/2014 3:07 PM ESSAY TRADEMARK LAW AND THE PRICKLY AMBIVALENCE OF POST-PARODIES CHARLES E. COLMAN† This Essay examines what I call “post-parodies” in apparel. This emerging genre of do-it-yourself fashion is characterized by the appropriation and modification of third-party trademarks—not for the sake of dismissively mocking or zealously glorifying luxury fashion, but rather to engage in more complex forms of expression. I examine the cultural circumstances and psychological factors giving rise to post-parodic fashion, and conclude that the sensibility causing its proliferation is grounded in ambivalence. Unfortunately, current doctrine governing trademark “parodies” cannot begin to make sense of post-parodic goods; among other shortcomings, that doctrine suffers from crude analytical tools and a cramped view of “worthy” expression. I argue that trademark law—at least, if it hopes to determine post-parodies’ lawfulness in a meaning ful way—is asking the wrong questions, and that existing “parody” doctrine should be supplanted by a more thoughtful and nuanced framework. † Acting Assistant Professor, New York University School of Law. I wish to thank New York University professors Barton Beebe, Michelle Branch, Nancy Deihl, and Bijal Shah, as well as Jake Hartman, Margaret Zhang, and the University of Pennsylvania Law Review Editorial Board for their assistance. This piece is dedicated to Anne Hollander (1930–2014), whose remarkable scholarship on dress should be required reading for just about everyone.
